Sedan and Coupe sales are lagging so Honda is not going to sink as much development money into the Civic any more. The tenth generation was probably the most revolutionary Civic upgrade ever, so Honda won't be in a hurry to develop a whole new generation too soon.

I suspect that like the 8th gen (2006-2011), the tenth gen will be 6 model years long (2016-2021). The next gen will be for the 2022 model year and it will be a minor update. Something like the ninth gen was to the eighth gen.

How about an Integra Type-R Coupe? Acura only wants to make old people cars now. Sad.

The Integra should remain a hatch-back and offer a sedan model. I think if Honda stops producing coupes (Civic/Accord) like the rumors say, they should bring the Integra/RSX over and sell that again as a performance alternative. If a new version of the ITR is released, I will 100% get it. I've been waiting for it's re-iteration for years.

ITR definitely needs to be a hatch - I would just like to see it with two doors.

New powertrain will have a simple electrical assist motor with recharging system added to the 1.5T/CVT to get rid of the momentary lag at take off. And can be Ktuned as well.

Don't assume the 1.5T is gonna be the only engine in the lineup or talk like it is, in Canada for example the 2019 EX has... You probably didn't guess it, the 2.0L. the 1.5T sells well in the US among enthusiasts but the 2.0L sells better elsewhere. Not sure why the part about being ktuned is included, all ECUs can be tuned/flashed. They're computers.

That being said, I hope they do what Toyota(?) Did and include a mechanical launch gear that shifts to the CVT after. Mightve been another company but my mind is thinking Toyota was the one.
